[Fot] gearbox legality

[Bill Babcock]

Clearly you need to change your mental metaphor for the FOT. It's  
like a bunch of racers at the bar in Siebken's The topics might start  
from a rational observation--like "Holy smoke--an entire bandolier of  
bachelorettes just walked in the door".  And quickly transform into a  
discussion of whether or not it is morally reprehensible to use a  
Mallory distributor.

It's a good thing.

And of course we have the power. All we have to do is universally  
agree on something. I'm not holding my breath.
